In exchange for Bess, the Browns swapped spots with the Dolphins in two rounds Saturday. In the fourth round, the Dolphins moved up to the 104th overall pick, and the Browns dropped to the 111th. The teams also have exchanged picks in the fifth round, but the exact spots are not yet known."

1. At the NFL Combine in February, Browns CEO Joe Banner said he thought there was no quarterback worthy of the No. 6 pick in the draft, and that never changed. There were those Geno Smith to the Browns rumors ... at No. 6 ... that appeared right before the draft. The Browns tried to make teams think they could take a quarterback at No. 6, which is why they had all the individual workouts with EJ Manuel and Smith. They did that in case a team really wanted a quarterback. No one did.

Say what you want about this draft. The new regime is all about building the team by spending money in free agency. I understand they are going to fund FA signings by shorting current roster players on their bonuses.

They've been pretty decent in round 2 for three years now. Just to be clear, how much longer until we are allowed to think that he Chaun pick isn't particularly relevant anymore?

That was also a different regime.

But yeah... Your 2013 2nd round pick has a year of NFL experience and caught 50 balls last season for 5 TDs. Really hard to bitch about that.

No shit the last few regimes fucked it up. If they hadn't they'd still probably be the regime running the show. Right?

I guess my point (I'm not sure I have one) is in response to LP's ESPN article that the Browns are the worst in the league in the 2nd round. While by their measures it certainly is true, I guess, I'm not sure exactly how meaningful it .

If Peeker went 426 tuesdays without getting cunt punted. But one tuesday about 5 years ago he got cunt punted 65 times, ESPN would be all "Peeker is the worst at getting cunt punted on Tuesdays."

Yet, if Hiko got cunt punted once on the third tuesday of every other month for the last 3 years, he still wouldn't have as many cunt punts as Peeker, yet I'd argue that it's worse. Or at the very least just as bad. Or more likely completely meaningless.

With the 139th pick in the 2013 draft, the Browns run out of time and forfeit the pick. The front office laments that they didn't have enough time to decide after considering all the trade down scenarios.

You may be the eternal optimist but you mean to tell me that there isn't someone available this year at 111 that might be able to help us right now? Maybe that 3rd rounder next year turns into an All Pro but it's always next year...next year.
